Castiglion del Bosco

Castiglion del Bosco looks like a little piece of heaven in Tuscany.  With cooking classes, an amazing spa, wine tasting, gardens, golf, stunning Tuscan architecture, relaxing pools, and breathtaking landscaping, this estate is on my list of dream vacation destinations. 

Tuscany Wedding

It's hard to beat Tuscany when it comes to your wedding location.  What a beautifully natural setting.  I love the casual, rustic feel it gives while still staying very elegant.  Typical of Italy, emphasis is placed on the company - and of course on the delicious food and wine shared among everyone.

French Countryside Wedding

I love the simple elegance of this French Countryside wedding.  Provence lends itself to be naturally rustic and elegant, so not much is needed to enhance it's beauty.  This wedding feels laid-back and cozy, while staying beautiful and polished.

White roses, tree-lined + gravel paths, gold-rimmed china, soft florals, romantic details, neutral colors, and an outdoor dinner under the lights...  

Beaulieu Gardens Wedding

Real Life Father of the Bride

I can't stop looking through the photographs from this wedding... what a gorgeous event!  The bride's parents co-wrote the remake of Father of the Bride, and the bride was the flower girl in the film.  Her big day come to life in her mom's Pacific Palisades backyard.  I love the neutral colors mixed with a lush backyard and organic centerpieces.  Bring in linen, monograms, beautiful cocktails, meaningful accessories, and gorgeous little details and you have one stunning backyard soiree.
